| Bovine tuberculosis (BTB), a contagious disease caused by mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis), affects a wide range of hosts, including domestic livestock, wildlife and humans. The socio-economic impact of the disease is estimated at US$3 billion per year globally (50 million number of cases and over 100,000 BTB-related mortality are recorded annually). In this talk, a deterministic model for the transmission dynamics of BTB in African Buffalo population will be discussed. Theoretical and numerical simulation results, using data from South Africa's Kruger National Park, will be presented. |
